A Symbol of American Prosperity - J.D. Rockefeller and Wife in 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black-and-white photograph captures a momentous occasion - John D. Rockefeller, one of America's most influential industrialists, arriving with his wife Laura Spelman Rockefeller at an unknown location in 1911. The image is courtesy of Bain News Service, renowned for its innovative use of photography to document the lives and events of prominent figures.
Rockefeller, then a respected businessman and philanthropist in his early sixties, stands tall alongside his elegant wife. He wears a formal boater hat, while she dons an exquisite dress with intricate details. The couple's refined attire reflects their affluence and social standing as one of the most esteemed couples in American society.
As they arrive at this private gathering or event, Rockefeller doffs his hat in deference to those present, showcasing a sense of respectability and humility despite his immense wealth. This photograph not only provides insight into the lives of these influential individuals but also serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within America's industrial heritage.
This historic image is now part of the Library of Congress' vast collection, offering future generations a glimpse into the past through Heritage Images.
